Elsa, Daughter of Ice

Chapter 5

A/N: Sorry, can't think of any other frozen songs.

Anne

I lay in the grass, eyes wide, shaking. I was frozen with terror. I was shaking and sweating, feeling as if I were going crazy. As I always felt during one of my attacks.

I hadn't told anyone that I had been having them, it had never happened around anyone else, as I had my own cottage.

Strangely, I saw Ben leaning over me. Usually I didn't imagine things. Unless it was really... I shook harder, now writhing on the ground. I was terrified that he was real, which just fueled the attack more.

"Anne! Anne, what's wrong? No, no, no, this is not happening! Come on, don't die. Please don't die!" I heard his voice, as if from far off, yet he was standing over me worriedly.

I tried to control it, telling myself it was all in my head. I shut my eyes, whispering to myself, trying to stop.

I finally found the cool of nothing that signaled the end of the attack. I slowly opened my eyes. Ben was still staring at me with wide eyes.

I sat up, only to be pushed back down by Ben. 

"No, you need to stay down. Rest. I have a few questions though." he took a deep breath. "One, did that girl hurt you? Also, what just happened?"

"I am fine, Elsa didn't hurt me. That was a..." I paused. How was I supposed to tell him?

I must have waited too long, because Ben started, "A what?"

"I have these... attacks. I call them panic attacks because I am consumed with terror, overwhelmed."

"How long?" he asked quietly.

"Always."
